Former Hong Kong lawmaker Ted Hui has renewed his criticism of HSBC for freezing his local bank accounts even after the global bank's chief executive, Noel Quinn, wrote to him to explain the circumstances of the change.

HONG KONG - Former Hong Kong lawmaker Ted Hui has renewed his criticism of HSBC for freezing his local bank accounts even after the global bank’s chief executive, Noel Quinn, wrote to him to explain the circumstances of the change.

Hui, who fled Hong Kong late last year after facing criminal charges over pro-democracy protests in the Asian financial hub, disclosed some of the contents of Quinn’s message in a Facebook post on Sunday. In December, the former lawmaker had said accounts held by him and his family appeared to have been frozen after he said he would seek exile in Britain to continue his pro-democratic activities.

Hui did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. HSBC declined to comment on specific accounts.

When a bank doesn’t know why it is freezing your bank account and changed the explanations multiple times, this bank is not trustworthy. Nobody should put their lifesavings in such institution.

As a client of HSBC, I don't even care if the CEO regrets or not, the thing I am concerning is we r in a high risk putting our money in your bank. The money n account can be frozen suddenly becoz of HSBC somehow decision......Well, my money is not come from the floor.
